About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

I have to say this is the best nursery my daughter has been to, my daughter would not settle in her previous nursery which brought me to Abacus, she now can't wait to go to nursery. The staff are amazing, always get daily updates on how she is doing, along with photos which is a great piece of mind. Would highly recommend Abacus Nursery.

I would not rate this nursery a single star, but 1-star was the minimum I could leave. Our son was collected at home time with a serious injury, of which was not highlighted to us and was discovered on returning to our car. The serious injury required hospital treatment. Ofsted were informed and an investigation concluded a failure in accident reporting. No apology and no explanation or internal investigation into how a child in their care became seriously injured. Please, please be aware and seriously consider this nursery as an option for your childcare.
However, it’s important to highlight that we did have a meeting with you in which we discussed the accident. We talked about the fall accident in the garden and how devastated and sorry our member of staff involved in the incident was. She checked the child over, and...
Thank you for your comment.However, it’s important to highlight that we did have a meeting with you in which we discussed the accident. We talked about the fall accident in the garden and how devastated and sorry our member of staff involved in the incident was. She checked the child over, and at that point could not see any visible injuries and believed the child was well so she offered him cuddles and comfort. The child happily continued wandering around the garden. Obviously, we later learned this was not the case. Ofsted was informed and we worked with them to revise our practice. We once again apologise that your child’s experience with us ended in such a sad circumstance but wish him all the best in the future.

My child has attended this nursery since early 2016 and I cannot recommend the Nursery or the staff there enough! We moved from Walderslade to Rainham in July 2016 and have still been driving all the way to Walderslade and back ever since as no other Nursery we’ve come across even comes close! The staff make the effort to greet you every single day, they happily talk to you each day about how your child has been and more importantly my son has come on leaps and bounds since attending and absolutely loves going to ‘school’ and seeing all his friends and teachers! Absolutely incredible Nursery and cannot thank you all enough for everything!
Amazing ladies makes me feel relaxedabout leaving my son he's very happy and loves going to nursery every day.

Choosing a nursery for your child is always a testing decision but I can hand on heart say that Abacus was the right decision for my Son.

Choosing a nursery for your child is always a testing decision but I can hand on heart say that Abacus was the right decision for my Son. He joined the nursery at just 8 months and has already learned so much. The staff are welcoming and just by the smile on his face when he arrives in the morning, I know he is in the best place for him. His education is as important to the staff as it is to me and I am so grateful for that.

We would highly recommend this nursery. We sent our oldest daughter here and she loved it, therefore, we didn't hesitate to send our youngest. All the staff are wonderful with the children and we know our daughter is in safe hands when we leave her. She comes out at the end of each day full of what she has done and we have noticed how much progress she has made since she started. The staff are friendly, easy to talk to and always willing to help wherever possible. Abacus really has become a big part of our lives over the last few years and we have appreciated their help and guidance. Highly recommend them and couldn't fault them in any way.
